I'm on 10mg of Zyprexa currently. It has cleared up my psychosis beautifully, and my anxiety and agitation are way down. The anxiety is still there, but not as bad. The agitation problems are almost non-existent.

My remaining problems are that my energy is dipping very low, and I mostly just want to sleep. I feel emotionally raw more often than not, but instead of agitation, it's sorrow and a weird sense of doom, more depressive than anxious. My personal hygiene has started slipping again, I just have very little drive to do much of anything and feel rather powerless. The remaining anxiety I do have is mostly in my chest, like a blunted adrenaline response. It's almost like I'm having mini panic attacks, but the effect is blunted and vague. It comes across as difficulty moving and breathing sometimes (but not in a medical way, I recognize the flavor of a panic attack).

So at my next pdoc appointment in a few days, I guess I can either add something to the Zyprexa, or I can try switching to Abilify since it's a perkier atypical. My pdoc is a pretty good one. She's a good listener, is respectful and lets me have a decent amount of sway in what I'm going to try. So I will probably get to choose whether to add something to Zyprexa, or switch to Abilify, if I come in there with a preference.

Does anyone have experience with a situation like my current one, and whether to switch or add, based on your experience(s)?
